What name do you give your Player in Pokemon Games, your real name or some other name?

[Sunshine Moonlight]

I mostly go with the name of the female protagonist of the game.

 

[Mister Coffee]

I always use my last name as my player name, not just for Pokemon though, I also use my last name in a lot of other games I play for my main character. I just love how my last name reads whenever a set of dialogue or an NPC interaction occurs where they refer to me by name. It feels formal, personal, and my last name sort of rolls off the tongue comfortably (well it does for me and a couple of friends of mine who have noticed various characters with my last name, have told me).

 

[Khoshi]

Random names, friends, lovers, the canon names given by the anime/other medias, other anime, so on and so forth. I'm not a fan of my actual name, so I resort to other sources. That or I just pick something off of the top of my head. I don't really mind, as long as it's not me.

 

[smocks]

eh depends how I feel, I usually use a different name then my actual name, but its not a same "different" name, they're all different. :3
But lately I tend to name my characters Vaporé and of course pick a girl.
But for my guy names when I pick the male character to play, it also varies to Seth all the way to Landon lol

 

[Lucario]

I pick names that make dialogue comical. Like "fart", for the line, "fart! smell you later!"

 

[Annataz]

I never use my real name. My default is usually Wren, but I also sometimes use Kira, Layla, or Eva.

 

[TheGoon]

For generation I and II I usually use the default names. Past that, I'll commonly use my own name, but will switch it up from time to time.

 

[stzy]

Ever since I turned 10 and stopped calling my player Ash I've been using my real name, Devon. Which was super confusing in the original Ruby and Sapphire version, dealing with the Devon company. I couldn't tell if the company was actually suppose to mimic the players name or if it was actually just called the Devon company (for some reason... ).

Does anyone name their Players on the mascot of the Game? (if the name fits in i.e. :P or maybe a shortened form of it)

Pika Pika :chu:

Sounds like a kewl idea, should try that.

 

[Desert Stream~]

The character's name, or one of my aliases names.

 

[t0gekiss]

I normally use my real name or t0gekiss. I've always named the rival Jamie for some reason, don't know why.

I've done that a couple of times :).

[Espeonica]

When I play a Pokemon Game for the first time, I give my Player my real name so that I feel like I'm actually inside the game :P I choose a different name the second time though (:

 

[Arjay]

I usually use my real name, which is Ryan. But if I play as the female character I call myself Marcy, after my girlfriend.

 

[scenekid]

I always put them Ash when I use to play pokemon on my gameboy back in the days.

 

[clefairydesuyo]

Always 'Vicki' (my real name), and I usually choose female characters. Although on my new play of Yellow (eStore download) I am ironically called 'fxybbz' (foxy babes, in the style of email addresses of most female teenagers circa 2003). My rival is called 'herpezzz'.

 

[Cakesu]

I've been playing 'mon since Gen 1, not sure what my name was back then, probably my real name.. but from Gen 2 onwards, I would name my character differently, such as Queenie and Cakesu which I 've been using for Gen 6.

 

[PlatinumDude]

I use my real name because I can't think of any better alternatives.

 

[StaticJolteon]

Riayan. I haven't used any other name. Even since I started Pokemon. That is my real name.

Bet you all can't pronounce it!
